The good news is that the Dodgers weren’t no-hit in their 3-0 loss to the Hanshin Tigers at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Saturday. The bad news is they went 3-for-28 (.107) at the plate – all singles. They also went 7-for-32 (.219) in their 5-1 win over the Yomiuri Giants on Saturday, during […]
(Read More)What. A. Game.
In the grand scheme of things, Friday’s game between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and the NL West fifth-place Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field was basically a meaningless game. However, in that same grand scheme of things, you will have a very difficult time convincing anyone of its meaninglessness. Also, if you missed […]
Something Ain’t Right
Although there has been no official word from the team (yet), it appeared from his very first pitch on Thursday evening that something wasn’t quite right with 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who the Dodgers signed to an enormous international free agent contract back on December 27, 2023 to the tune of 12 years at […]
Dodgers Lose Another Winnable Game
In what seems like a growing trend, the Dodgers lost another should-have-won game on Tuesday, this one a 10th-inning 5-4 loss to the NL East last place Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park in Miami. As he has now done in his last several relief appearances, 38-year-old (that’s not a typo) Dodgers right-hander Luis García turned […]
Living Up To The Hype
It is a quote (cliché) attributed to NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi that we’ve all heard dozens of times in our respective lives: “Act like you’ve been here before” Dodgers rookie sensation Hyeseong Kim acted like he’d “…been here before” when he made his major league debut with Dodgers against the Miami Marlins […]
Time to Hang It Up?
There comes a time in every baseball player’s life to hang up their bat, glove, and cleats. For some, it comes early when they struggle in Little League and decide to pursue other interests. For others, the time comes at higher levels of the sport – travel ball, high school, college, or the professional minor […]

Better Than Best
March 10th, 2025 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka There’s good, there’s better, there’s the best … and then there’s Freddie Freeman, who is as close to better than best as there is in the game today. Go ahead, prove me wrong. I’ll wait. Although the guaranteed future first-ballot Hall of Famer owns a career slash line of .300 / .387 / .512 / […]

Wrobleski (Probably) an Opening Day Lock
March 8th, 2025 at 8:30 am by Ron Cervenka Earlier this week we posted that 27-year-old right-hander Landon Knack quite possibly pitched himself out of the Dodgers 2025 Opening Day starting rotation and even off of the Dodgers 2025 Opening Day active roster. The same cannot be said of 24-year-old left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who quite possibly pitched himself into/onto both. During Friday evening’s 6-4 […]

All Better
March 7th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka When 35-year-old Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went down with a sprained right ankle on September 26 of last year, a good many Dodgers fans feared the worst for the eight-time All-Star and future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Although the Villa Park, CA native and second-round draft pick in 2007 by the Atlanta Braves out of El […]

Sasaki to Make Much Anticipated Dodgers Debut
March 4th, 2025 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka Of this off-season’s moves by the Dodgers, perhaps none was more celebrated by Dodgers fans than last week’s signing of 23-year-old phenom right-hander Roki Sasaki, this after his four outstanding seasons with the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) Chiba Lotte Marines. During his four seasons in the NPB, the Rikuzentakata, Japan native posted a remarkable 29-15 record, […]

Freddie the Destroyer
March 3rd, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Dodgers superstar and future Hall of Famer Freddie Freeman slugged his second home run of the Spring and his second in as many days on Sunday in the Dodgers 6-3 win over their Camelback Ranch camp mates, the Chicago White Sox. But it wasn’t just another Freddie Freeman home run, it was a monster Freddie […]

A Great Send
March 1st, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Oh sure, Friday night’s bottom-of-the-ninth 6-5 Dodgers walk-off win over the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim was just another “meaningless Spring Training game.” But for the 12,271 on hand at Camelback Ranch, and the millions more watching on SportsNet LA, they got to witness – yet again – why soon-to-be (on March 20) 59-year-old Dodgers third […]
